Dried Mango Spears

Dried mangos are a delicious treat, but even a small bag of the store-bought stuff can carry a hefty price tag, not to mention unwelcome added sugars and preservatives. The next time you’re craving a sweet snack, opt for this easy recipe and make your own at home! With your June, the process is incredibly easy. After peeling and slicing the mangos, all you have to do is soak the spears in some lemon juice to prevent browning (this step is purely for aesthetics so feel free to skip it if you don’t care) and arrange them in greased June Air Baskets. To save time, let your June Oven do the work overnight--start the mango spears before going to bed and enjoy your homemade healthy snack in the morning.

Peel and slice the mangoes

Peel the mangoes. With the thin side of the peeled mango facing you, slice the wide lobes off one mango, as close to the pit as you can get. Turn the mango 45 degrees and slice off the narrow lobes, again getting as close to the pit as you can. Discard the pit or reserve for another use (pit will still be surrounded with quite a bit of mango flesh). Repeat with the other two mangoes.

vegetable peeler

knife

chopping board

Slice the mangoes into spears

Take each large lobe and place it cut side down on your cutting board. With your knife parallel to the chopping board, slice the lobe in half to create 2 equal slices. Leaving the two slices on top of each other, slice the stack into 4 long, equal spears. Slice the small lobes in half longways to make 2 equal spears. Repeat with all the mango.

Add the lemon juice

Place the mangoes in a large bowl and toss with the lemon juice. Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
